bob carr came by the studio today and we chatted for a good hour, it is always good to see friends stop, by.

i put 9 paintings in the cancer center today, i have done it for the past three years. no one gets to see them but the folks with cancer and the employees but i just feel good doing it. at my age being a painter is as much about people as it is about profit. don't get me wrong i love to sell my work, but there are some things that bring on a very good feeling.
